History

Wreck and Reference (sometimes stylized as Wreck & Reference or W&R) started out as a garage project in Davis, CA in 2009.[1] The band began drawing mainstream attention after the release of the Y̶o̶u̶t̶h̶ LP and the C̶o̶n̶t̶e̶n̶t̶ EP (pronounced "No Youth" and "No Content") in 2012.[2] In 2014, their second full-length album Want was featured on "The Best Metal Albums of 2014" list by Pitchfork.[3][4] Want was followed by a 75-track, online-only release of the samples used to create the electronic instrumentals on the record.[5]
